Once, I changed the oil filter.  All the oil blown all over later.  I found,
that the rubber gasket that was on the old filter stayed in place and the
new filter with its gasket went on, having two gaskets on at once.  That
blew.
I wonder if the same happened this time too.
In that case, nothing is gone wrong with the engine.

Of course, there maybe other reasons if this was not.  Hope, not serious.
